Sprint HTC 10 and Galaxy S7 are Getting Their Nougat Updates

Android 7.0 “Nougat” arrived back in late August. I point that out because we have seen numerous devicesover the past week receive an update to it. I also point that out because you should be shaking your head at these companies for finally getting around to giving your high-end phone a taste of a version of Android that isn’t even close to being the most current.

But for those waiting, and who own the HTC 10, Galaxy S7, or Galaxy S7 Edge on Sprint, your time has come. That’s good news, even if we are becoming increasingly frustrated at the long wait times for major updates to hit these phones as carriers continue to provide an unnecessarily long barrier between you and Google.

The HTC 10 update on Sprint is rolling out as software version 2.42.651.6. The Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge updates might just be hitting previous beta users at this time, with a more general rollout to follow. Sprint isn’t showing a changelog for the update, but we do have some screenies for it from Twitter.

So let me get this straight. Some people can join the nougat beta program and other cannot, then the nougat update arrives for the people who already had it, while the ones that have been waiting for months are left stranded without a clue. Real nice Google, real nice. This makes me want to switch to iPhone.

I was paid 104000 dollars last year by freelancing online and I did it by working part-time for 3+ hours a day. I followed a money making model I came across from this website i found online and I am so happy that I was able to earn so much money on the side. It’s beginner-friendly a­­n­­d I’m just so blessed that i discovered this. This is what i do… http://statictab.com/owgxpdb

Meanwhile Samsung still hasn’t updated unlocked S7s in the majority of regions around the world. It’s really quite frustrating. We’re talking large, wealthy markets of key significance to Samsung too, like the U.K. and mainland Europe, where buying unlocked phones is far more commonplace than in the US (doesn’t excuse Samsung not updating the US unlocked model either though).

So how on earth did Motorola beat these companies to the punch when everyone thought they’d be one of the worst due to the whole Lenovo thing and that confusing ass response they made regarding updates? I’m still surprised by that…

Well, Motorola phones are 99% AOSP so there’s less testing needed than with highly customised skins like Grace UX (formerly known as Touchwiz).

To be honest every company’s update game has been lacking for Nougat. Only Pixel has offered fast updates.

HTC 10… i still really like this phone even though I sent it back. I mean look at that beautiful specimen of a device… And now we have the U Ultra…smfh.

I tested the HTC 10 out for a week and really loved the phone. I also didn’t hold onto it, but if all you want is a solid all around good phone, the 10 is the easiest choice, well until the Pixel came out I guess.

I thought the HTC 10 was just kind of boring nothing exciting for the price.
